Roy Keane has delivered his verdict on this season’s Premier League title race between Arsenal and Manchester City.

Following Manchester City’s convincing 4-0 win at Fulham on Saturday, the pressure was on Arsenal to deliver at Old Trafford today.

Mikel Arteta’s side got the job done with a 1-0 victory thanks to Leandro Trossard’s first-half effort.

It means the title race will go right down to the final day of the season, with the Gunners currently relying on City to drop points in their final two games.

City will travel to Tottenham on Tuesday before hosting West Ham while Arsenal face a home game against Everton on Sunday. It looks as if they will be hoping for a favour from their north London rivals next week. 

Now, Roy Keane has shared his thoughts on the title race following Arsenal’s win at United today.

Keane’s Premier League title prediction

Speaking on Sky Sports, Keane explained why he cannot see past City regaining the title. 

“I questioned Manchester City four or five weeks ago, thinking to myself that I’m not quite sure they can do it,” the Manchester United legend said.

“But in the last few weeks I don’t know why I even doubted them. The quality and strength in their squad, players off the bench are world-class, a world-class manager in Pep, everything. They are just a machine.

“Even yesterday away to Fulham, far from an easy game and they win by four goals. You just can’t see them being stopped now.”

Keane changes mind on title race

Back in December, Keane backed Arsenal or Liverpool to capture the title over City after watching Guardiola’s men draw 3-3 with Spurs at home.

He has since switched between Arsenal and City but it would appear that he has settled on the reigning champions for the time being.

Arsenal will certainly be hoping for Tottenham to produce a similar result to what they managed at the Etihad Stadium next week.

Should City draw at Spurs, it would hand Arsenal the advantage due to their superior goal difference, with just three separating them and City at the moment.

But with Tottenham struggling towards the end of the season, it’s difficult to see City falling short in north London on Tuesday.

With that being said, they have managed just one win at Spurs’ new stadium over the past five years, which came earlier this season in the FA Cup fourth round.
